Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Kilkenny car reservation?
We understand that plans can change at the last moment. That's why many prepaid rentals offer a refund if you cancel a minimum of six hours before pickup. Your rental policy should include all the specifics you need. If you can't find the answer there, our Customer Service Portal is always accessible.
What types of cars can I rent in Kilkenny?
Crowded city streets and cramped parking spots are no match for an economy car — the most popular rental type in Kilkenny. Grab the wheel of one of these and negotiate traffic easily. Affordable, reliable and with excellent mileage, these small cars pack plenty of punch. But Kilkenny can be explored in almost any type of rental you like. Compact, mid-size and full-size vehicles are some other options to choose from.
Where can I go on a road trip from Kilkenny?
There's loads to do in Kilkenny, but venture further afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Book a set of wheels and you can wander around the greater area at your own pace. Add these fantastic destinations to your itinerary:

  • You'll find Guinness Storehouse and many more amazing attractions in Dublin. From Kilkenny, it's approximately 105 kilometres away.
  • Why not check out the best of Cork too? Major sights in this buzzing city include Cork City Hall. Cork is roughly 121 kilometres from Kilkenny.
  • Connemara National Park is around 209 kilometres from Kilkenny and is one of the region's most beautiful nature spots. Stretch your legs and enjoy the fresh air here.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Kilkenny with Expedia?
Nabbing an amazing deal on your Kilkenny rental car is a breeze with Expedia. Choose your preferred car type, add in a few more details and compare prices across popular suppliers. Why not add flights and hotels to your booking? You'll score even bigger savings when you create a holiday package.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Kilkenny?
In Kilkenny, the rule is usually 21 years of age and over. Most outlets will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary based on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as specialty cars, and require comprehensive insurance to be taken out. It's always a good idea to read the fine print before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Kilkenny?
Generally, all that's required is a current driver's licence and credit card in your name when collecting your vehicle. You may also need proof of coverage if you choose to opt out of the company's insurance plan. These requirements may differ between providers, so remember to check before booking.
What side of the road do you drive on in Kilkenny?
In Kilkenny, you'll always be driving on the left-hand side. This is obviously different from driving in the States, so minimize distractions and concentrate behind the wheel.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Kilkenny?
Whether you're planning to stop in Kilkenny or explore beyond, you can book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find cheap long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Kilkenny car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Kilkenny outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Policies differ between suppliers, so you'll need to do your homework. Also, find out if there are any extra costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young customers between 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions so you know what to expect.
